Wales' thumping win over the Scots and England's flattering triumph in Rome has done little to convince the bookies of anything but a Red Rose victory.

You can take it as read there's no way on God's earth Wales will be given the space and freedom of Twickenham, the Scots allowed Wales in Cardiff last Saturday.

Expect to be the midfield battle to be ferocious with likely success for both sides coming out wide. Eddie Jones' Red Rose will also provide a far-more formidable ball-carrying threat from their rumbustious pack than the lacklustre Scots managed in Cardiff.

It would take a brave man to bet against seeing the Red Rose blooming in west London on Saturday evening.

Yet again it was England's bench that saved them, although the men Jones has called his finishers were more rescue squad on this freezing Cardiff night.

Just as those replacements had changed the face of the narrow win over France at Twickenham a week ago, so they wrestled late control of a game that Wales had in their grasp.

Wales left points on the pitch in the first half, twice spurning kickable penalties, once to take a five-metre scrum which England then won, shortly afterwards kicking for the corner when the impeccable Halfpenny would surely have bagged the three points.

Skipper Alun Wyn Jones then knocked on with only the comparatively diminutive Youngs in front of him and with an overlap left, and in a game as tight as this it will be one more regret on a night of what ifs and should have beens.

England's opening try had spoken of initial superior precision and control, the men in white going through 26 phases before Youngs burrowed over.

Only Farrell's missed conversion and Daly's penalty miss from long range kept them from enjoying a more comfortable lead. That superiority was short-lived.

Williams cut a sweet inside line off Rhys Webb's pass, England's defence suckered by decoy runners. And sustained Welsh pressure in the second half really should have brought reward, Jones so concerned he replaced his skipper Dylan Hartley on 46 minutes and threw on James Haskell shortly afterwards.

England still could not find their rhythm, Mike Brown wasting one attack by kicking the ball out on the full under little pressure, Jonathan Joseph ending another with a pass sent straight into touch.
